Atoms of metals x, y and z form face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell...

Atoms of metals x,yx, y and zz form face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell of edge length Lx{L}_{x}, body-centred cubic (bcc) unit cell of edge length Ly{L}_{y}, and simple cubic unit cell of edge length Lz{L}_{z}, respectively. If rz=32ry;ry=83rx;Mz=32My{r}_{z} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}{r}_{y}; {r}_{y} = \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{3}}{r}_{x}; {M}_{z} = \dfrac{3}{2}{M}_{y} and Mz=3Mx{M}_{z} = 3{M}_{x}, then the correct statement(s) is(are)

[Given: Mx,My{M}_{x}, {M}_{y}, and Mz{M}_{z} are molar masses of metals x,yx, y, and zz, respectively. rx,ry{r}_{x}, {r}_{y}, and rz{r}_{z} are atomic radii of metals x,yx, y, and zz, respectively.]

Options

  1. APacking efficiency of unit cell of x>x > Packing efficiency of unit cell of y>y > Packing efficiency of unit cell of zz
  2. BLy>Lz{L}_{y} > {L}_{z}
  3. CLx>Ly{L}_{x} > {L}_{y}
  4. DDensity of x>x > Density of yy

Correct answer

A. Packing efficiency of unit cell of x>x > Packing efficiency of unit cell of y>y > Packing efficiency of unit cell of zz

Step-by-step solution

Metal xx forms FCC (edge length Lx{L}_{x} )

Metal y forms BCC (edge length Ly{L}_{y} )

Metal zz forms SC (edge length Lz{L}_{z} )

Given rz=32ry{r}_{z} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}{r}_{y} and ry=83rx{r}_{y} = \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{3}}{r}_{x}

∴rz=32×83rx=4rx∴ {r}_{z} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{3}}{r}_{x} = 4{r}_{x}

Mz=32MyMz=3Mx{M}_{z} = \dfrac{3}{2}{M}_{y}{M}_{z} = 3{M}_{x}

∴My=2Mx∴ {M}_{y} = 2{M}_{x}

Packing efficiency FCC>BCC>SCFCC > BCC > SC

Packing efficiency unit cell x>y>zx > y > z

In FCC unit cell:- atoms along the face diagonals are in contact.

∴2Lx=4rx⇒Lx=22rx∴ \sqrt{2}{L}_{x} = 4{r}_{x} ⇒ {L}_{x} = 2\sqrt{2}{r}_{x}

In BCC unit cell: atoms along the body diagonal are

∴3Ly=4ry⇒Ly=43ry=43×83rx=323rx∴ \sqrt{3}{L}_{y} = 4{r}_{y} ⇒ {L}_{y} = \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}}{r}_{y} = \dfrac{4}{\sqrt{3}} \times \dfrac{8}{\sqrt{3}}{r}_{x} = \dfrac{32}{3}{r}_{x}

Ly=323rx{L}_{y} = \dfrac{32}{3}{r}_{x}

In SC unit cell, atoms along the edge are in contact

∴Lz=2rz∴ {L}_{z} = 2{r}_{z}

=2×4rx=8rx= 2 \times 4{r}_{x} = 8{r}_{x}

Lx=22rx{L}_{x} = 2\sqrt{2}{r}_{x}

Ly=323rx{L}_{y} = \dfrac{32}{3}{r}_{x}

Lz=8rx{L}_{z} = 8{r}_{x}

∴Ly>Lz>Lx∴ {L}_{y} > {L}_{z} > {L}_{x}

Density of xx (Number of atoms of xx per unit cell (z)=4)( z ) = 4 )

dx=zMx(Lx)3NA=4×Mx(22rx)3×NA{d}_{x} = \dfrac{{zM}_{x}}{{\left({L}_{x}\right)}^{3}{N}_{A}} = \dfrac{4 \times {M}_{x}}{{\left(2\sqrt{2}{r}_{x}\right)}^{3} \times {N}_{A}}

=4Mx162rx3NA=Mx42rx3NA= \dfrac{4{M}_{x}}{16\sqrt{2}{r}_{x}^{3}{N}_{A}} = \dfrac{{M}_{x}}{4\sqrt{2}{r}_{x}^{3}{N}_{A}}

Density of yy : (Number of atoms of y per unit cell (z)=2( z ) = 2 )

dy=zMy(Ly)3NA=2×2Mx(323rx)3NA=108Mx32768rx3NA{d}_{y} = \dfrac{{zM}_{y}}{{\left({L}_{y}\right)}^{3}{N}_{A}} = \dfrac{2 \times 2{M}_{x}}{{\left(\dfrac{32}{3}{r}_{x}\right)}^{3}{N}_{A}} = \dfrac{108{M}_{x}}{32768{r}_{x}^{3}{N}_{A}}

∴∴ Density of x>x > density of yy.
